The "if the previous staff did it, it is fundamentally bad and the opposite should be done" is very, well, reactionary.
On the other hand, if a prior coach did something and that prior coach was an abject failure, perhaps his techniques should be viewed with some degree of skepticism.Every OC coaches from the box! pretty much, there are exceptions.

While i'd say the problems on offense last year have much less to do with him being in the box, than it had to do with his ability to adjust and teach the system. That's like saying "look watson wore white shoes last year and our offense sucked so this year Beck better only wear black shoes." Get over it, Beck will do what he feels will get the best results, and if there is some sort of lacking, i'm sure he'd be willing to make the necessary adjustments to get it fixedOn the other hand, if a prior coach did something and that prior coach was an abject failure, perhaps his techniques should be viewed with some degree of skepticism.Every OC coaches from the box! pretty much, there are exceptions.

I appreciate the benefit of having someone in the box, but does it have to be our OC/QB coach? Can't we put, say, Fisher in the box and have him call down to Beck?
I can think of several OCs (or HCs with play-calling responsibilities) who are not in the box. Lane Kiffin comes to mind. Chip Kelly as well. Chris Ault. And I believe Gus Malzahn also hangs out on the sideline. Point being, one can call plays from the sideline without too much trouble. And for the OCs who are in the booth, do those teams have a separate QB coach or co-OC who can provide face-to-face coaching with the QB on the sideline?
Double "Yeah, that":yeahEvery OC coaches from the box! pretty much, there are exceptions.

Everytime they show the OC on TV, he is coaching from the box. You see defenses better and are able to make adjustments better. Besides isn't that what the position coaches are for, to coach up the players on the sideline?
Talked to a player the other day, from what he made it sound like Martinez is head and shoulders above any other QB right now, especially throwing.The most consistent QB. Wow. How will that be? Consistency was in short supply last year.Q: Define how you will work with the quarterbacks, exactly what you're looking for and how you will determine who gets the keys to the car.
A: Obviously, we're looking for the most consistent guy and the best leader. That's important. Just because you're the starting quarterback does not guarantee great leadership. Leadership is based on making the least amount of mistakes and guys that "get" the system and figure it all out. There is a lot to teach them and a lot to deprogram so they figure out what they need to do, how to do it and why they need to do it. I'm excited, and I think our quarterbacks are excited about it. We're not really out of the war room yet, though, so it's hard to tell right now where it's all headed.
I get that you're exaggerating for comedic effect, but the contingent of HuskerBoarders who voted for Carnes in the best QB poll was far smaller than those who voted for Martinez. Oddly, they were far greater than those who voted for Green, so you kinda have a point there.bshirt said:This is HB where the overwhelming majority of posters state kids who have never taken a snap in cfb are our best qbs "and" have the best leadership.
Just like last year when a sizable minority was excited to see what Taylor could do calling the shots, despite his never having taken a snap.I get that you're exaggerating for comedic effect, but the contingent of HuskerBoarders who voted for Carnes in the best QB poll was far smaller than those who voted for Martinez.

I just hope that we start to see some depth a qb so we can keep running the offense w/out a 50% drop in production if we need to switch qb's during a game.I get that you're exaggerating for comedic effect, but the contingent of HuskerBoarders who voted for Carnes in the best QB poll was far smaller than those who voted for Martinez.
